Effect Of Respiratory Training On Vas Pain Rating And Via Thickness In Patients Withrating And Via Thickness In Patients With Chronic Non-specific Lumber Pain

Abstract

PURPOSE: Non-specific low back pain(NLBP) is defined as a lumber pain that does not belong to an identifiable specific pathology. The probability of experiencing lumber pain in one's lifetime is as high as 84 %. According to the most accurate estimate, the prevalence of NLBP is 23 %, and 11 % of them have disabilities as a result. Compared with conventional physical therapy methods, core strength training can effectively relieve patients 'pain. Due to the overlap of the core muscle group and respiratory muscle in the anatomical structure, there is also a certain relationship in its function. But it is easy to ignore the training of respiratory muscle during the core force training. Therefore, this study compared the effect between respiratory training combined with core strength training and single core strength training in patients with NLBP, in order to confirm the effect of respiratory training on NLBP. METHODS: 26 patients with NLBP were equitably distributed into observation group and control group according to random number table method. All the patients were taken in 3*40min exercise intervention for 8 weeks. The observation group adopted breath training combined with core strength training, while the control group only conducted core strength training. The VAS score measured with pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the thickness of transverse abdominis of patients were determined with Bone Ultrasound Instrumentbefore and after the intervention. RESULTS: The difference of VAS scores (4.40±1.30 vs. 4.45±1.29,P=0.92)and thickness of transverse abdominis (0.35±0.03 vs.0.37±0.03,P=0.12)between groups were not obvious before intervention. But VAS score in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (3.20±1.15 vs. 4.18±1.17,P<0.05), and the thickness in myalgia side of transverse abdominis was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.42±0.03 vs. 0.39±0.01,P=0.00) after intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of respiratory training combined with core strength training on patients with NLBP is significantly better than that of the single core strength training, suggesting that respiratory training plays an important role in the treatment of NLBP.
